It started with notebooks, but that wasn’t the master plan.

That's just not true. My laptop (MacBook Pro Intel) has atrocious battery life, and Apple made a big deal about battery life improvement with the M-series chips. It's a very valid complaint at my office, and we routinely have people running back to their desks to grab a charger or someone when meetings go long.

There's obviously a trade-off there, but I've heard complaints about battery life for years now, but the market just hasn't filled that need. I guess it's kinda filled by massive external battery banks and plug-ins everywhere?

But having a larger battery as an option would be welcome. Make a thicc chassy as an option at checkout on the 16" laptop.
